Found first roll of film and mailed it. Roll 2 mailed. Contents mixed, has Ed's house (end), Stanford AI Lab, Xerox/PARC (no inside shots).

The past few days have been as hectic as most at C-MU. I guess my last letter got everything up to Illiac. For Intel I got on Xerox's MAXC processor (a microcodable machine they built so they could get a PDP-10), IMPed to CMU, said Hi to Helene, and printed a copy of my resume and went to Intel.

They want someone who knows about hardware, software, and operating (me) to run herd on field service and be in full charge of the operators. It involves a lot of administrative work (a minus), and is in the middle of a big, flat, treeless valley (more minus) and they want a commitment soon (more minus).

So, I'll probably turn them down because of the above and there is still a lot I want to do software-wise. Too bad - Intel looks like a good company with lots of sharp people. A lot of employees have done real well with their stock option plan. I have to call back Wednesday when they'll probably make an offer I probably can refuse.

I'm at an A&W fast food place at the corner of John Daly Blvd and Lake Merced Rd. ~5 miles south of San Fran. Should be 10-15 miles or more north before I quit for the day. It's 57 outside according to a sign, but with bright sun out it makes for warm riding.

You're lucky to be getting this, maybe. I don't want to write in the morning, so I can get going before the headwind starts up (typically NW). I guess lunch is a good time - I can let things digest a while before hitting the road again. Which I guess I should be doing now.

Future film will have notes in here to keep track of what I shoot.
